All have been posted today, so those 7 who ordered this medal, keep an eye on you mailbox. Believe me it is worth waiting for...another STAR for Daniel Carr
I have my Medallions and they are just stunning! What a wonderful tribute to Gary. Daniel certainly has done a grand job! Well done everyone!!! This quest speaks volumes for our forum and all the members. Together we can do ANYTHING!!!!
My sentiments precisely! We were all touched by Gary in some way and to have a lasting Memorial of him by way of the medallion shows the high esteem he was held in.

Gough Island is major bird sanctuary in the Tristan da Cuhna group. Gough Island recently issued a set of eight legal tender, each featuring a different bird. I sincerely doubt the coins circulate as the small island is only inhabited by about six people who man a weather station, along with thousands of birds. The sale of the coins help raise funds for the school and hospital on Tristan da Cuhna. The coins . Included in the set is a 39mm copper-nickel 1 Crown, bimetallic 25 Pence, brass 20 pence, copper-nickel 10 and 5 pence and bronze 2, 1, and 1/2 Pence, all dated 2009, struck by the Commonwealth Mint. The coins picture Queen Elizabeth on the obverse and bear the names of both Gough Island and Tristan da Cuhna.
Hi Nevol! Seems like I am always wanting something! Please add 32 medallions for the Burke Family to our list. I will advise when payment is received. I also want everyone to know I offered the Burke Family these medallions at our cost per medallion, whatever that might be, as I had NO intention of figuring their purchase into the production costs of these medallions. I hope everyone agrees with my thought process on this matter. If not please email me to voice any concerns. Thanks.
